I'm certainly no weapons expert but was hoping to learn something. I was a little surprised to see so many calibers and variations in the PDW category. I take it the concept is adding the Swiss Sig kit for its reputation of precision and durability to a common platform as opposed to using the Sig 552?

7624U reading between the lines it looks like this May be perceived as frivolous... Reminds me of an HK SP 89 I once had while I liked the 120 rounds ( dbl mag/ shoulder holster) the accuracy for such a short barrel and that it was classified as a hand gun...it was still a 9mm.

What would be used as a larger caliber for the vehicle without permitting a short barrel? Or the shot gun route... Suggestions ?

I was thinking a para stock for the 91 but that thing throws brass hard.

I am far from an expert but I like the idea of a PDW in 10mm. 223 out of a short barrel looses so much. 300 blk would be better but that big 10mm bullet coming out of a 10 in barrel would be awesome. I would like to see someone come out with that. Not sure why the MP-5 in 10mm did not work out. My guess to high pressure for system but just guessing. I really liked the idea.

I was making the smart ass comment because the point of the PDW is to be concealed so that people don't see it. But then that really does not matter when the shooter himself sticks out with all of his tactical cool gear on his body and the bag the gun is in cost as much as most people make in a month in most countries.

I would rather just carry a dependable pistol and a burlap sack full of hand grenades if the SHTF in most low visibility situations.

^Thanks, I missed some of that as that gear isn't really on my radar. I thought Suntos were for adventure racers and poking around I see Swiss Sig 550s are selling for over $6,000.00 so it's hard to disagree with what you are saying... I think of them nostalgically, first weapons I was ever exposed to ( Stgw57 ).http://www.forgottenweapons.com/rifles/sig-stgw-57/

You've got me realizing that I'm way overdue for some range time.

The original article had me thinking of the volatility of violence that is occurring along the front range here in particular CS coupled with travel to a remote area frequently. It's also important to me that I'm legal, back where I lived in WNC I knew all the police/ deputies, here I don't.

Brush, I was trying to remember I thought Matlin use to make some affordable rifles that used some of the hand gun calibers... I don't see them today or am not recalling that correctly?
